Lyrics:

(We Got The Power x4)

Any day now
She’s gunna blow
No time fo tarry
We’ve got to go

Gather up the children
Run like a raging river
Panic in the red zone
Ah go to take a ride on the corner

Melancholy day
We going away
To a place where we don’t know
Some just ain’t got no where to go

Survival on my head
Treading in the dawn of the living dead
Living in a real real emergency
Send a rescue mission to Vincy

Fire pon the mountain top
Mama Soufriere bum bum non-stop
What an eruption pon corruption
Dash way the dutty meditation

And when the dark is tumbling down
We gonna be together
Gimme the Vincy power
And when the time for love has come
Gimme the power
Gimme the Vincy power

Hopes and dreams in a little nap sack
One little dutty shoes that’s all she got
Mama don’t cry…. No
We gonna make it through no matter what

Higher meditation
Is the medication
For the pain and the drama
And the children in the trauma

Man ha fe tough like one concrete wall
Man ha fe stand up like them ten feet tall
Full up yo bucket ah resistance
Bind yo mind to persistence

So mama Soufriere come fe bun up all the fantasy
Put a curve ball pon yo destiny
People them ah ball out for mercy
The hearts of the children thirsty

And when the dark is tumbling down […]

I need a respirator (I can’t breath)
Can you bring a little water (I can’t see)
woooooooooo
We lock up in ah poverty

So ah got to get over the river
Ah sunny day tun black
Like a nightmare over and over
Ah got to keep my mind intact

Hey Royal Souljahs pick up yo potion
Got to got to get this love thing in motion
Say we more than conquerors
Say we more than numbers

And when the dark is […]

(We Got The Power x7)
